Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Vancouver's largest pub: About 1; 000 tankards of ale a day are being consumed at what Habitat Forum Organizers claim is the longest bar in Canada 204 feet. Here; bartenders Maida Lyth (left; background); Justin de Goutiere and Victor Mallia serve some of thousands of patrons who show up daily in former hangar of disused air base at Jericho Beach. It's not only source of cheap booze for delegates. A small liquor store sells at third of normal cost.
